    Meghan Markle might be one of the most famous women on the planet — but Hollywood power players are purportedly less than impressed with her showbiz prowess.

    The Duchess of Sussex, 42, is said to be scrambling after the launch of her forthcoming podcast with Lemonada Media was reportedly pushed back to next year.

    According to In Touch, honchos at the company put the project on pause for fear that the upcoming launch of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, would take attention away from her audio endeavors.

    “Meghan gets greedy,” an inside source told the publication.

    “She wants everything all at once, and it’s backfiring on her again. She’s become a total joke and is overplaying her hand.”

    Lemonada execs are also allegedly worried that Markle’s upcoming Netflix cooking show will divert attention from the podcast.

    “That clearly didn’t go down well with Lemonada,” the source stated.

    “They surely expected to be Meghan’s priority project, but she must have decided she had bigger fish to fry with Netflix.”

    The purported pushback of the podcast comes after Markle’s Spotify series “Archetypes” was not renewed for a second season.

    The source says Markle now desperately needs a hit with her Netflix show or her lifestyle brand in order to prove that she and husband Prince Harry are still viable in Hollywood.

    However, the insider isn’t holding out hope.

    “Almost everything they’ve tried has ended in disaster,” they tartly declared.

    Meanwhile, one well-placed source in Tinseltown told In Touch that A-listers have little respect for the Duchess, who commands big bucks for her content.

    What do you think? Be the first to comment.

    “Hollywood is glam and glitz on the outside, but the real stars have worked hard for their success — and you get the impression hard work isn’t really Meghan’s thing,” the anonymous source says.

    “Now, after all her failures, those A-listers — and the royals — are laughing at her!”

  • The one reason Prince Harry is likely safe to stay in America if Donald Trump gets elected

    The one reason Prince Harry is likely safe to stay in America if Donald Trump gets elected

    EXCLUSIVE: One royal expert believes that Prince Harry can stay in America despite rows over his visa even if Donald Trump is elected.

    Prince Harry could be safe to stay in America if Donald Trump is elected, despite visa rows, it’s been claimed.

    Since the duke, 40, spoke about his past drug-taking habits in his memoir Spare, people have been quick to question just how he got permission to live in the country in the first place.

    The Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based think tank, believe Harry’s visa could have been treated differently to that of ordinary citizens, with some people being banned from entering the country if they are found to have been drug users presently or in the past.

    The upcoming US election has also raised concerns for the duke, with Harry and candidate Donald Trump known to dislike each other.

    This has left royal fans puzzled about whether Harry will be permitted to stay in the country if Trump gets elected.

    However, one royal expert believes the duke will be safe as Trump, if he gets elected, will be too busy to deal with it.

    Expert Richard Fitzwilliams said: “Harry was extremely foolish to discuss his drug taking in Spare both in interviews and in the memoir, available in paperback.

    “However, the Sussexes have kept a relatively low profile during the Election, urging Americans to vote but not being explicit as to whom for.

    “It is most unlikely that Trump would risk an embarrassing episode involving the royal family by expelling Harry if it was discovered that he had not revealed his drug taking on his Visa application.

    “We know that Trump and the Sussexes detest each other but… it is safe to assume the Sussexes would be left in peace.”

    The duke and his wife, Meghan Markle, 43, have also reportedly brought a holiday home in Portugal, leaving some questioning whether this could become a permanent base for the couple.

    Richard Fitzwilliams has ruled this out, believing the European home is not a permanent replacement for their Montecito mansion.

    The throwback photo Meghan Markle ‘never wanted the world to see’

    Meghan Markle’s family once released a throwback snap of the duchess that she reportedly “did not want the world to see”.

    A photo of Meghan Markle which she reportedly “never wanted the world to see” was once released by her family ahead of one of their interviews.

    The throwback photo, which showed the Duchess of Sussex at an unknown event, was shared on social media last year ahead the interview with 7NEWS Australia.

    Meghan can be seen in a low-buttoned white collared shirt with a napkin stuffed in it.

    Her hair is in a low bun with strands falling down her face, while plates of food can be seen in front of her. She is thought to be at a restaurant.

    The photo was shared on X by journalist Taylor Auerbach who claimed it was a photo Meghan “never wanted the world to see”.

    He has removed his posts since then.

    The 7NEWS Australia interview features several other unseen photos of the Duchess while she was growing up.

    They discussed her relationship with Prince Harry as well as where she would be “without her dad”.

    In the trailer, her sister Samantha said: “She would still be a waitress if it wasn’t for dad.”

    In another moment, Samantha said of the relationship with Harry: “They’re unhealthy for each other. This is a toxic relationship.”

    Meghan has had a rocky relationship with her father and sister since her marriage to Prince Harry.

    She has never commented on their claims.

    Prince William offers major olive branch to Prince Harry opening up on estranged brother

    The Prince of Wales, 42, has spoken about his estranged brother in a new upcoming documentary about his aim to end homelessness.

    Prince William has spoken about his brother Prince Harry in his new upcoming ITV documentary.

    The Prince of Wales, 42, has been in a rift with his brother for years, with the pair no longer believed to be on speaking terms since the release of Harry’s memoir Spare last year.

    However, in the two-part series Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, which is set to air on October 30 and 31 on ITV and ITVX, the future King does in fact speak about his estranged brother.

    This is when William speaks about the impact his mother, the late Princess Diana, had on his desire to end homelessness, taking both her and Harry to homeless shelters as young boys.

    The future King said: “My mother took me to the Passage; she took Harry and I both there… I’d never been to anything like that before and I was a bit anxious as to what to expect.

    “My mother went about her usual part of making everyone feel relaxed and having a joke with everyone…I remember having some good conversation, playing chess and chatting.

    “You meet people, like I did then, who put a different perspective in your head.”

    The new documentary is also set to display some photos of the young princes at these shelters, including those of William and Harry together with their mother Diana.

    According to The Daily Mail, the documentary is the first time William has mentioned his brother’s name in a public speech or interview since 2018 when the two princes, alongside the Princess of Wales and Meghan Markle, were interviewed at the Royal Foundation Forum.

    This year, the prince did wish Harry a happy 40th birthday on official social media channels, however many believe they are unlikely to have spoken privately.

    This comes after the brothers attended a Spencer family funeral over the summer and were said to have not spoken to each other despite being in the same room.

  • Key royal tipped for ‘peacemaker’ role as Prince Harry ‘clearly trusts’ her

    Key royal tipped for ‘peacemaker’ role as Prince Harry ‘clearly trusts’ her

    Prince Harry’s close bond with one key royal could pave the way for reconciliation talks with the Firm in the future, says expert.

    Princess Eugenie could “possibly” pave the path for reconciliation talks between Prince Harry and the Royal Family as the duke “clearly trusts” her, a royal expert has claimed.

    The Duke of Sussex has had strained relations with some members of his family in the UK ever since he stepped down as a senior working royal and moved to the US with wife Meghan Markle in 2020.

    But the couple, who no longer have a UK base after being evicted from Frogmore Cottage last year, have reportedly bought a new holiday home in Portugal, close to Princess Eugenie and Jack Brookbank’s property.

    Now a royal expert suggested that Harry’s close bond with his cousin could provide a bridge for reconciliation talks in the future.

    Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK!: “Eugenie undoubtedly does have something of a challenge on her hands to maintain good relationships with both Harry and Meghan – and the rest of the Royal Family.

    “But I think the King is probably happy that Harry still has at least one royal cousin he clearly trusts, and presumably wants to see more of. The family are all so busy that they don’t really see that much of one another.”

    She added: “However, I think it’s a positive thing that Charles does have someone he can quietly ask about Harry‘s well-being if he is so inclined. And Harry can presumably gauge the mood of the family via Eugenie.

    “Any reconciliation – which at this stage still seems unlikely – has to start somewhere and with someone. And that person could possibly be Eugenie… but don’t hold your breath.”

    Ms Bond went on to suggest that the Sussexes’s latest purchase could also provide benefits to their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as it could help them build relationships with members of the Royal Family by playing with Eugenie’s sons, August and Ernest Brooksbank.

    She explained: “I think it perhaps suggests that they do want their children to know at least some of their UK family.

    “It will be good for Archie and Lilibet to spend time with their little cousins, and Eugenie will remain an important link between Harry and the rest of his family.

    “And that’s a positive move because it implies that the children won’t be solely immersed in American culture and will have a better understanding of their European roots.”

    Meghan Markle will ‘no doubt’ overtake Kate Middleton in popularity

    Rumours have been circulating that Meghan Markle is set to make a big return to Instagram, with one expert suggesting she could overtake Kate Middleton in terms of popularity

     

    Meghan Markle has faced a tough few months recently, but things could be about to change for the Duchess of Sussex.
    Speculation has been mounting that Meghan is set to return to Instagram and relaunch her popular blog The Tig, with one PR expert suggesting she could overtake her sister-in-law Kate Middleton when it comes to popularity. A recent survey showed Kate and her husband Prince William way out in front in terms of popularity among the public.

    However, PR to the stars Mayah Riaz believes this will soon change. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, she said: “It’s no doubt when Meghan re-joins Instagram she will overtake Kate in terms of popularity.

    Mayah pointed out how it’s likely Kate has staff posting to social media on her behalf. The PR expert added: “Therefore, it paints a picture perfect life which the Royal Family are keen to portray.”

    Meghan stepped down from the Royal Family three years ago, before moving to America with her husband Prince Harry. Mayah said this will allow Meghan to “post what she wishes”.

    “She wont have to run it by anyone for approval before posting it,” Mayah explained. Speaking about what we could expect from Meghan’s Instagram, she added: “We can see all aspects of Meghan and her family life.”

    Mayah said Meghan is likely to grab widespread media attention with her Instagram account. She told us: “We don’t often see Kate’s Instagram posts making headlines. However, Meghan’s life on Instagram will lead to headlines. We can also expect to hear news of projects announced first on her Instagram.”

    Meghan and Harry were recently spotted dancing the night away at Beyoncé’s concert in California. Mayah said: “We have seen footage of Meghan dancing at Beyoncé’s concert as well as public display of affection with Harry. We would never see Kate and William like this.

    “This is why there will be day and night difference between Meghan and Kate’s Instagram. Let’s not forget, people who love to hate Meghan will bizarrely still follow Meghan’s Instagram.”

    However, she warned Meghan could be targeted by online trolls. “We are more likely to believe that Meghan herself will be posting on her Instagram. This will lead to an explosion of followers very quickly when it’s confirmed that @meghan is her account.

    “Along with the explosion of following, I fear that a lot of it will be trolling. We have seen the amount of hate directed her way on Twitter (X) and sadly, I think that will follow on Instagram too.”

  • After 30 Years, Firefighter Reveals Princess Diana’s Final Words: “I love my two children, Harry’s real father is actually…”

    After 30 Years, Firefighter Reveals Princess Diana’s Final Words: “I love my two children, Harry’s real father is actually…”

    After 30 Years, Firefighter Reveals Princess Diana’s Final Words: A Shocking Truth About Harry’s Biological Father

    Nearly 30 years after the tragic car accident that took the life of Princess Diana, a retired firefighter has come forward with an astonishing revelation. He claims to have been present at the scene of the accident and to have heard Diana’s final words—words that shed light on one of the most persistent rumors surrounding the British royal family: the identity of Prince Harry’s biological father.

    On that fateful night in 1997, when Diana’s car crashed in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris, the world watched in shock as one of the most beloved figures of modern times was taken from them. For decades, speculation has swirled around the circumstances of her death, but now, the former firefighter, who was one of the first responders at the scene, has shared a statement that could reopen old wounds and questions.

    According to the firefighter, Diana, barely conscious but still aware, allegedly whispered a confession about Prince Harry’s paternity. It has long been rumored that Harry’s father might not be King Charles III but instead someone from Diana’s close circle, perhaps even her former lover, James Hewitt. For years, royal biographers and tabloids have speculated, but no concrete evidence has ever emerged to substantiate such claims. However, this latest revelation by the firefighter adds a new dimension to the rumor.

    Diana reportedly said, “Look after Harry. The truth must come out.” These cryptic words have led some to believe she was referring to the long-held secret about Harry’s true lineage. Though the firefighter has refrained from naming anyone specifically, his statement has reignited public interest in the potential DNA evidence that could support or dismiss such claims.

    For years, Prince Harry’s striking red hair and distinct features have been the subject of comparison to James Hewitt, who had a relationship with Diana during her tumultuous marriage to Charles. Though Hewitt himself has consistently denied being Harry’s father, insisting that their relationship began after Harry’s birth, the resemblance between the two has continued to fuel gossip. The royal family, for their part, has never publicly addressed these rumors, choosing instead to dismiss them as baseless.

    This new revelation, however, might force the royal family to confront the speculation head-on. With modern advances in DNA testing and growing demands for transparency in the royal household, many are calling for a definitive answer to the question of Harry’s paternity. The royal family has weathered many storms, but this particular issue could pose a significant challenge, especially considering Harry’s already strained relationship with his family.

    Some royal experts suggest that if Diana’s final words do indeed hold the key to this mystery, it could explain much of Harry’s behavior in recent years. His departure from the royal family, along with his wife Meghan Markle, and their subsequent public statements criticizing the institution might be seen in a new light. Could Harry have always suspected that he was different from his brother, Prince William? Could this explain his desire to forge a life independent of the royal establishment?

    As the firefighter’s revelation makes headlines, the world is left to wonder whether the royal family will finally address the rumors or if they will once again bury the truth.

  • Breaking News: Another Member Expelled from the Royal Family by King Charles, And That Person Is…?

    Breaking News: Another Member Expelled from the Royal Family by King Charles, And That Person Is…?

    na shocking turn of events, King Charles III has reportedly expelled another member of the royal family, marking a dramatic escalation in the internal tensions that have plagued the House of Windsor.

    While the identity of the individual remains undisclosed for the moment, speculation is rampant, with many pointing to ongoing controversies that have caused friction within the royal family in recent years.

     

    Prince William's Tough Decision Brings Queen Camilla to Tears as He Inherits New Role from King Charles

    King Charles, who has been intent on streamlining and modernizing the monarchy since taking the throne, appears to be taking decisive action to safeguard the integrity of the institution.

    This recent expulsion is seen as part of his broader effort to reduce the number of working royals and distance the crown from individuals whose actions or behavior may bring controversy or embarrassment to the family.

    Charles’ move follows a series of public disputes, most notably involving Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, whose departure from royal duties in 2020 caused a seismic shift in the royal landscape.

    Many are speculating that this latest expulsion could involve a royal family member who has been embroiled in scandals or disputes that threaten the public perception of the monarchy.

    The expulsion comes at a time when King Charles is determined to establish his own legacy, stepping out from the shadow of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, while also maintaining the values and traditions of the British monarchy.

    Some commentators suggest that Charles’ actions signal a new era of accountability within the royal family. In previous generations, internal family matters were often kept private, but under King Charles’ reign, it appears that there is less tolerance for those who fail to uphold the standards of royal duty and public responsibility.

    By removing another member from the royal circle, Charles is sending a strong message about his expectations and the future direction of the institution.

    The public reaction has been mixed. Some have applauded King Charles for making tough decisions and prioritizing the future of the monarchy over personal relationships. Others, however, see this move as further evidence of deep divisions within the royal family that may be difficult to heal.

    The expelled royal has yet to make a public statement, but the announcement is sure to spark further intrigue and debate about the inner workings of one of the world’s most closely watched families.

    As the nation waits for more details, this decision marks another chapter in the evolving story of the British royal family under King Charles’ leadership.

  • Princess Diana WOULD still have done a bombshell interview even if she hadn’t been duped by disgraced BBC man Martin Bashir – but it might not have been so incendiary, royal writer Tina Brown claims

    Princess Diana WOULD still have done a bombshell interview even if she hadn’t been duped by disgraced BBC man Martin Bashir – but it might not have been so incendiary, royal writer Tina Brown claims

    Princess Diana would still have done a bombshell interview even if she had not been duped by BBC journalist Martin Bashir, royal writer Tina Brown has claimed.

    The late royal’s TV interview with Bashir was watched by 23million people in 1995 and caused a worldwide media frenzy.

    She told Bashir ‘there were three people in this marriage’ – a reference to the then Prince Charles‘s affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, now Queen Consort.

    By then, Diana and Charles had been separated for three years and would go on to divorce in 1996.

    It later emerged that, to secure access to the princess, Bashir showed her brother, Earl Spencer, false bank statements which suggested his former head of security had been receiving money from tabloids and the security services to spy on his sister.

    Once he had gained access, Bashir told Diana a string of lies, convincing her that Prince Charles was having an affair with then royal nanny Tiggy Legge-Bourke and that she became pregnant and had an abortion as a result.

    However, Ms Brown, 70, who has published a series of books on Diana and the Royal Family, believes the princess would still have spoken to the press even if she had not been misled by Bashir.

    She told the Scandal Mongers podcast: ‘I’m of the opinion that Diana still said in that interview, everything that she wanted to say, and I’m actually also of the opinion, she would have given an interview to somebody else, she was sort of looking to unload all that.

    ‘But perhaps it wouldn’t have been quite such a sort of bridge-burning voltage that it was, if she hadn’t been under the kind of illusion that there were all of these people spying on her.’

    Bashir also commissioned fake bank statements that purported to show how payments were made into the account of Diana’s private secretary, Patrick Jephson, from intelligence services monitoring Diana’s movements.

    Mr Jephson quit in January 1996 after what he later called a ‘deeply uncomfortable’ final meeting with Diana.

    In 2022, the BBC paid him substantial damages and apologised ‘unreservedly’.

    Speaking of the incident involving Ms Legge-Bourke, whom she approached at a party and said, ‘sorry about the baby’ in the false belief she had been pregnant with Charles’s child, Ms Brown added: ‘That all sounded like she had gone so, you know, crazy, essentially.

    ‘But of course, now we understand she’d been told Tiggy Legge-Bourke had aborted a child by Charles and that she had been told Patrick Jephson was her chief spy.’

    A bombshell report found that Bashir lied to obtain his interview with Diana.

    The independent inquiry found the shamed journalist used ‘deceitful’ methods later covered up by a ‘woefully ineffective’ internal investigation by Tony Hall, who later became BBC director-general.

    Ms Brown’s most recent book, The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor, the Truth and the Turmoil, was published in 2022.

    In 2007, she released biographical work The Diana Chronicles.
